  1. If it does feel/sound like an A2 injury. Then get onto icing it asap, massively helps to reduce the swelling and encourages blood flow. One the pain and swelling have reduced, take a look into 'voodoo flossing' - sounds dodgy, but can be really effective

    So this is officially the practice run... Buy a house together, trial run with a dog and then "oops, missed my pill, my bad!"....

    Good thing she ain't on the pill then ay?!

    the bike would move forward until the crank rotated 90 degrees then it would stop 

    But surely the tension on the string would prevent the bike from going forward. Only if the string was slack could the bike move forward, but by pulling on the string, the bike is essentially leashed so could only either: 

    stay in one place, if the tension put on the string equaled that of the forward pedalling force 

    or, the bike would be dragged backward if the force pulling on the string exceeded the pedalling force. The rear wheel would indeed turn forward, the bike would not

    Likewise, I'm one of the design engineers for Tuke and Bell, we're one of the last of the original sewage m&e suppliers (since 1908) and have got kit all over the country. Last major wessex job we did was Warminster, but done a minor job at Compton Basset recently that's due to be installed in the next few weeks.

    Yell if you have any questions, got 16 years experience now so can probably help if you're stuck :)

    For now, I'm on the jetting operations team. So if someone does a massive log and it won't get down the drains I'll rock up with my gert pokie/jetty stick and sort it.
    Not the most glamorous job, but to be honest I'm just so damn stoked to be out from behind a desk and doing something active. It's also nice in that it can lead onto much more in the future

    Go back to college, start again, try something new. Don't be afraid to start at the bottom

    The issue here is learning costs. 
    I'm 26 and am days away from picking the keys up to my first house (together with the other half). I'm not in a position where I can afford to pay to re-train, and the days of living cheap at home and doing an apprenticeship have long passed.

    The other problem is that my other half works for the local council in their finance team and earns absolutely f**k all. Like seriously f**k all.  I already pay more on the bills etc to make it fair, but it's like she feels cause I earn an extra couple hundred a month I should be able to pull money out of thin air at any given moment. I've mentioned her having to find a new job and she didn't even entertain it. 

    It's a total b*****d. I'm so totally done with where I'm working, but finding a viable and sustainable way out is proving difficult

  7. Fed up of earning f**k all, but struggling to see a way forward with things. I need a change of career direction, but with a background based in retail I feel so limited 
    Feel like I'm going to be trapped for ever in f**king sales 

  8. Watched 'The Big Short' last night. Great film, but also bloody terrifying. Especially as I'm in the middle of buying a house ATM!

    Also watched 'The Nice Guys' a few days ago. Loved it, very clever, very funny face-value comedy
